ASPxClientTreeList.GetFocusedNodeKey Method
Returns the focused node’s key value.
Declaration
GetFocusedNodeKey(): stringReturns
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| string | A String value that uniquely identifies the node. |
Remarks
To move focus to the specified node, use the ASPxClientTreeList.SetFocusedNodeKey method.
Example
This example demonstrates how to use the ASPxClientTreeList.GetFocusedNodeKey method to expand and collapse tree nodes based on the state of a node (collapsed or expanded). You can get the node state by calling the ASPxClientTreeList.GetNodeState method in the client-side ASPxTreeList.FocusedNodeChanged event. Demo limitation: if you close the topmost parent node and do not have other nodes except that one, you will have to expand this node by clicking the Expand Button.
